depends on what kind of custom content you want to make

Blender is a good free meshing program, and there are good tutorials for them if you Goggle "blender tutorials".

I don't use Gimp as I have Photoshop CS2, but a lot of people (including a number of people here) say that it's a good program to use.

Sorry for not having the links, but a quick Goggle search for them should bring them up with no problems.

I found Gimp cumbersome.  I finally broke down and paid for paint shop pro and adobe photoshop.  Adobe photoshop is pricey but paintshop pro is very adequate.  I don't mesh yet so I don't know about meshing tools.  So far I am trying to master recolors and textures.

Have you tried getting the trial version of Paint Shop Pro. The full version isn't cheap but the price is reachable.  You could try the trial version to see if you like it before investing your money in it.  I actually had paint shop pro about 6 months before I finally got Photoshop.  Photoshop is very complex too, I'm still trying to learn the program.

the trial for paint shop pro is 30 days.  It was long enough for me to determine I would rather work with paint shop than paint or gimp.

I luckly have photoshop >,> My dad is well connected but i've heard that Paint Shop Pro is a near mirror of it so you might want to invest in it if your doing recolors for clothing

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro X. I LOVE it! I also have Photoshop, but haven't messed with it too much. It seems pretty similar to Paint Shop Pro, but for some reason it seems so much more intimidating to me! lol

I love Adobe, I haven't tried Gimp nor Coral whatever yet so I can't compare.

.. but Adobe is really really good! LOL..

I couldn't do anything without photoshop, I think you can get cheaper versions of it through the net, (e-bay, I think, for example) than in a store if you're interested.

Hello I am using the Gimp 2.0 all I have done with it yet made some Icons to sort my downloads. But it is easy to handle and you can find some tuts for it either.

Got Adobe hier too but a big big book for it so.......:(

What don't you like about GIMP? I think it works really well.
